The context of these tariffs is the trade deficit the U.S. runs, which totaled $568 billion in 2017. The Trump administration maintains that the size of that gap is due to unfair trade agreements. Critics point out that U.S. consumers are the beneficiaries of this gap.
President Trump first announced his intention to impose steel and aluminum tariffs on March 1, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, +0.23% only recently has advanced after being stuck in a narrow range for months.
